He was actually playing great defense in the 1st quarter. Not so much in this 2nd quarter though.

They're bums man. Take care of them in a few.


No they aren't. Their defense has been physical and has made the Nets look sloppy on offense.

KD needs to put the ball on the floor a bit more.

Poor 2nd quarter. KD and Levert with terrible halves.

Been a pretty underwhelming game for KD on both ends of the floor. And we've got to clean up the TOs.

Well this half was disappointing to say least. I get that its only game three for these guys, I just expect so much after two preseason games :lol:

That's your fault for thinking that preseason games matter. They mean nothing aside from guys getting in game shape.

Basically everyone besides Kyrie has been extremely poor on both ends since the 1st quarter. Being down by 3 is a blessing.

I’m looking forward to the 2nd half to see what adjustments are made at halftime.

BOS physicality caused problems for us in the 1st quarter. It seems like we neutralized it in the 2nd quarter, but we’ve been sloppy the entire 1st half.

Kyrie and Allen probably played the best for us. Everyone else was subpar.

I think you have to give Allen the lion's share of minutes in the second half. DJ hasn't been terrible, but I think Allen is going to do better on switches when Boston goes small.

DeAndre’s family should call him immediately at halftime and tell him to stop letting Tristian Kardashian outplay you on Christmas Day. It’s pretty embarrassing. Thompson is exposing his lazy ass.

Oh please, its only game three for this team. We need to get it together thats all. Close up paint and make them jump shot happy, two get it together on offense. Everything is turnover. We get that corrected and its a wrap.

We have to come out with a sense of urgency and intensity. Straight up. The adjustments be letting Harris guard Theis and sending two on Tatum anytime he gets it in triple threat.

We’d need to go with a taller and more active lineup, so more Jarrett and less DJ if he doesn’t want to earn his paycheck.

Sloppy half. Felt like nothing went right outside of Kyrie getting hot at the end. Offensive rebounds. Getting abused in isolation. No offensive rhythm. Somehow we're only down 3. KD needs more touches. Dinwiddie + LeVert need to give us something. Both were very very bad that half. Still can't believe Spencer missed that layup.
